Unlicensed Malaysian beautician at large after botched breast enhancement surgery led to woman’s death
- Tan Wei Shan died in August, just days after she underwent a breast enhancement procedure performed by an unlicensed beautician in Malaysia
- The beautician who did the procedure is still at large, and her contact number and social media accounts have been shut down
After the death of Tan Wei Shan last month, Ling Tian Soon, chairman of the Johor health and unity committee, said the state health department’s private medical practice control section had launched an investigation into the matter and searched for the beautician.
“They also staked out the location – a double-storey house in Taman Mutiara Rini, Skudai – where the procedure was said to have taken place, but the beautician was nowhere to be seen,” he said.
I am giving the beautician one week to come forward and assist in the department’s investigation
Ling added that the beautician’s contact number and social media accounts had also been shut down.
“I am giving the beautician one week to come forward and assist in the department’s investigation. Those with information about her whereabouts are also encouraged to channel the information to us,” he said on Tuesday.
“If she still refuses to do so, I will call for a coordinating meeting with the police and the department to ask the cops’ help to track her down.”
He also confirmed the beautician was unlicensed and that the location where she performed her services was a rented house.
